  GB teaching - Gays and Lesbians will be resurrected as Gays and Lesbians

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the final talk of the saturday afternoon online convention is given by lett, sporting a creepy looking combover, which for some reason, looks creepier than normal.

  he talks about how those resurrected will need to come into line with a new moral code otherwise they will be destroyed.

  he uses an example of gay people having to turn away from their inclinations even though they may feel that they are perfectly acceptable.. this demonstrates that the gb feel that being gay is a taught behaviour rather than an imperfect unnatural desire, otherwise they would be growing out of that desire as they develop towards perfection, as they teach.

  people will be resurrected as male and female with sexual desires. They have not been so clear about this until this Convention talk.

  L. listen: wt taught that this applies to the earthly hope[rs], because Jesus in the quoted text about "not marrying or given in marriage" was talking to people with an earthly hope, with no concept of 144 000 male virgins. so:

  Like angels: with no normal or abnormal sexually desires, to be consummated only in married bliss. at minimum,

  the so inclined will, at best, be best friends not getting married, as they can now in many places, but not in the NW.

  a peak into the "scrolls to be opened"?

  This directive probably also applies to all outside paid wt workers. In the army, during offences, "Pioneers" build bridges, laid landing strips, on retreat they blew them up, ripped up railroads.

  how far will the wt retreat go?

  out of curiosity, i recently looked up a person (jw) on facebook who was a very good friend of mine years ago in western pennsylvania.

  his family moved to arizona about 15 or so years ago.

  since i left the jw's and he didn't, i never contacted him again.

  s a commercialized apostate false prophet.

  F: wt people have the answer, : the "false prophet" is the anglo -american world power.

  The whole bit to fully dress up for zoom is like the who;e arrangement. it is a charade, like today's wt: talking to an invisible man in the sky that cares because this miraculously born carpenter died, to defeat the talking snake.

  In our extended family there was always running water. The youngest son was running to the community well with two cans. to fetch it, sometimes after a long wait in line.

  pioneering? pi in the sky. 3.14, running around in circles for 45.- a month, but a neat cabin could be had for 25.-, a new beetle be bought for 600.- every 3 years.

  They crave desperately for recognition for their pathetic cult from the world they so despise and renounce.

  now today this is of course a non-issue.

  the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

  in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.

  This pouring out of God's spirit upon the flesh of all his faithful anointed witnesses-- does bot mean --without mistakes.

  GB: if the choosing in 1919 (read those wt mags) or the "proclaimers" book, of wt as the exclusive F& DS -- are the best, what wt touts to be "the mightiest force in the universe" can produce in humans,-- god help us all.

  not minimizing the heroism of those JWs that resisted evil to their death. but errant erroneous teachings

  when it comes to God we become very critical.

  GB: It appears that the creator (if there is one) gave us an open invitation to be critical, in that we have to use all our wits to pry the secret workings out of creation, that is after all all that we can go by to reflect back on the personality of an originator.

  The bible and other earlier works because of their errors, are not factual accounts of what went into creation, given too, that the source of all, energy, can not be destroyed, or made, and is therefore uncreated.

  Sticking with evolving science and having a healthy scepticism of inspiration claims should serve you well, after all, there is existence, consciousness. family.

  They work directly for Satan

  Yeah he said that just 1 0r if the "you" was plural. 2 would not die. wtBtS inc made that millions.*

  Wr will not admit it mistakes, except that they regret having printed it.

  instaed blame the victims.

  the mistake was to stop preaching that stuff.

  * Olivia de Havilland just died who was just 2 at the time/ an immortal star, but gone with the wind. wt promises notwithstanding.
